Darn - I guess this means that the Palm OS 3.1 SDK shipped with
TxtPrepFindString documented, right?
I thought it was private, and changed the API between 3.3 and 3.5.
And yes, to keep from getting flamed, I wrote a TxtGluePrepFindString
routine for the Palm OS Glue library that does the right thing based
on the version of the OS.
So if you've got the 3.5 SDK, use that glue routine. Otherwise you'll
need something like the following snippet of code:
UInt16 NewPrepFindString(const Char* inSrcP, UInt16 inSrcLen, Char* outDstP,
UInt16 inDstSize)
INTL_TRAP(intlTxtPrepFindString);
and then
FtrGet(sysFtrCreator, sysFtrNumROMVersion, &version);
if (version < sysMakeROMVersion(3, 5, 0, 0, 0))
{
TxtPrepFindString(inSrcP, outDstP, inDstSize);
}
else
{
NewPrepFindString (inSrcP, StrLen(inSrcP), outDstP, inDstSize);
}
Note that this doesn't work on pre-3.1 devices, but the
TxtGluePrepFindString routine does handle this properly, so use it
when you get the 3.5 SDK.
